Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

The next day, Du Qingchen brought presents to Mr. Xia's door. He thought very well. If Mr. Xia disagreed, then these would be the gift of thanking the teacher to express the Du family's gratitude to Mr. Xia for his hard work this year. When he came back, he asked a matchmaker to propose marriage. This was just to find out first.

Du Qingchen seldom came to the door, but when he came suddenly, he brought such a heavy gift, and there were no three teenagers to follow, Master Xia understood what was going on, and let him into the room with a smile.

The Xia family is a courtyard with two entrances and two exits. Not to mention how rich it is, but at a glance, it is not an ordinary family. When Du Qingchen entered the gate, he saw the flowers, plants and fake stones in the courtyard. The murals are inlaid on the walls on both sides, but there are some poems on them. Looking at the characters, they seem to be written by Master Xia himself, and someone specially carved them to decorate the courtyard.

Du Qingchen quickly praised a few words, and Xia Fuzi remained calm, and made the reserved side of the proposed party to the extreme.

In the living room, Xia Zijin poured tea for the two of them. The exquisite tea set was almost the same as that used by Tao Mansion. Du Qingchen toasted the tea with the lid of the cup, took a sip, and then put it down with a smile.

Xia Zijin also bowed and retreated, walking far away so as not to disturb Master Xia's conversation with Du Qingchen.

Du Qingchen first talked about Du Rulin's apprenticeship, and then talked about this exam. He tried his best to praise Master Xia, and even said that the teacher's kindness is as important as a mountain, and that the teacher is like a parent. Smiling, Du Qingchen continued: "Speaking of which, Master, how do you think my family is like a forest?"

"Of course it's good." Xia Fuzi didn't say much, just stroked his beard and said simply.

You still have to speak up yourself!Du Qingchen said: "I also love my little brother very much. Master knows that I bought a house in the capital a few days ago, right?"

"I know." Master Xia nodded.

"As a person, I actually don't like the prosperity of the capital city. My father and my father-in-law and mother-in-law were all born in the fields, so I wouldn't be able to enjoy that blessing. If you are an official, leave the house to him so that he can have a place to stay in the capital."

Master Xia was taken aback.

Du Qingchen continued: "Then, Master also knows that we came to Beijing this time for the brothers of my husband's family. My father-in-law and mother-in-law don't have much money, but Su Nuan is married to a high-ranking family. It’s not good to have no dowry, so I prepared a dowry of 5000 taels of silver for Su Nuan for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, which is also a kindness.”

Master Xia was really surprised this time, "You are really generous."

He is not a businessman, so he can't say how much money the Du family has, but this figure still shocked him, and he also understood what Du Qingchen meant. He was willing to give 5000 taels to his husband's brother, so Du Rulin, a real brother Woolen cloth?When the family is separated, it must be more than just a house in the capital.

Master Xia pondered: "You know, I love my disciple not because of these things."

They are scholars, if they use money to lure them and just humiliate them, Master Xia will be angry.

Du Qingchen said: "Master Xia, I'm a businessman with a smell of copper all over my body. I really don't understand these things. If you offend me in any way, don't be angry! I just know that when Rulin is in front of you, you can take care of all his benefits." Chu, I don’t need to say anything, maybe, you know better than me! After all, I’m just his elder brother, but you are his mentor.”

Master Xia felt a little better. What Du Qingchen said meant that he regarded him as someone closer to Du Rulin!

Du Qingchen said: "I'm stupid and vulgar. I can't come here when I'm in the spring and snow. I can only talk about basic necessities of life. There is absolutely no other meaning."

Master Xia also felt that he had overreacted. He knew that Du Qingchen was here to discuss marriage, so why couldn't he hold back his words?Let's talk about marriage!It is naturally necessary to talk about the children's future basic necessities of life, and Du Qingchen is very sincere!He very implicitly pointed out that Du Rulin will have a lot of wealth in the future, and he will never let Brother Jin suffer.

Master Xia was tempted. Although he had been tempted a long time ago, it was only at this moment that he really felt that the Du family could entrust Aiko.

Seeing Master Xia's expression, Du Qingchen felt that he could get to the point, so he said, "I want to ask Rulin to marry the elder brother of Master's family. I wonder if I can agree?"

Master Xia was stunned. Although Du Qingchen really said it out, he was stupefied for a moment. After a long time, Master Xia stroked his beard and said, "Ru Lin...you might be able to pass this exam. Going to the Guozijian exam, there is a five-point certainty, if he stays in the capital..." Wouldn't he be separated from his brother Jin?

Du Qingchen said: "It is precisely because of this possibility that we have to make a quick decision! In fact, the two children are not very old, so there is no need to be so anxious, but my father and I only think that Brother Jin is the best, and I am afraid it will be too late. Or maybe Rulin left Han County, it will be more difficult to say this in the future, and that’s why he was so anxious. Don’t worry, Master, even if the two are separated and the marriage is settled, there will always be a day of reunion! To tell you the truth, Master, I It is impossible for a person to stay in the capital for a long time. Han County is my home, and I will definitely come back. At that time, both of us will be in this city. No matter how far Rulin and Brother Jin are outside, this is their foundation. It's their home, and when the time comes, our two families will take care of each other, wouldn't it be great?"

Xia Fuzi stroked his beard, Brother Jin is a brother, he always wants to marry, he always wants to be alone, and it is impossible for him to stop Brother Jin's future and prevent him from marrying a promising scholar. He is in the provincial capital of Han County, so no matter what, father and son must be separated.

What Du Qingchen meant was obviously that a brief separation is not scary, and that sooner or later, he will get married and go to a place. Moreover, his Du family does not plan to stay in other places. It is also a relationship between relatives that he can watch and help him in Han County in the future. .

In this way, Master Xia will not be alone.

And if Du Rulin and Brother Jin go home, this is also their home.

Master Xia nodded slightly, feeling that there was nothing wrong with it. Du Qingchen's eyes lit up, "Master agrees? If yes, I'll invite a matchmaker to come right away?"

"I want to ask brother Jin what he means first, and we can't make such a hasty decision."

"It should be, it should be." Du Qingchen nodded, "Master Wang told brother Jin that my family, Rulin, will definitely treat him very well."

Master Xia nodded.

Du Qingchen left and returned to Du's house.

However, Du Rulin did not wait for the news at home, but brought Liu Tai and Qiuyou to visit Min Anshi, and prepared gifts. Firstly, it was a teacher appreciation ceremony, thanking Min Anshi for his teaching over the past year, secondly, Du Rulin had his own purpose.

In the Min Mansion, Du Rulin and the three first expressed their gratitude, and then pretended to mention unintentionally that Liu Tai and Qiu You were going back to the countryside to visit relatives, and he himself was going to the capital to attend Su Nuan's wedding, which made Min Anshi frowned. I couldn't help but ask a few words.

Du Rulin then told about the reconciliation between his family and Su Nuan. In fact, Min Anshi knew about it a long time ago, but what he heard were all rumors, and he didn't dare to believe it completely. This time, he heard from Du Rulin that he knew about the Du family's reconciliation. How far have you reconciled with Su Nuan?

If there is such a relationship, there will be no barriers if you think about it!If Du Rulin enters the court, Qi Cheng will definitely help him.Min Anshi thought silently.

"It's just that there is one more difficulty." Du Rulin pretended to be sighing, "Master said, if we win this time, we will be required to take the Imperial College entrance exam directly in the capital. I heard that the Imperial College exam is extremely difficult, and the three of us can't even be sure about the exam. How dare you compete with thousands of people? Take the hundred places?"

Min Anshi's expression moved slightly, "If someone with sufficient status is willing to write a letter of recommendation for you, that's also possible."

"That's right! It's just that Marshal Qi is fine, but Master said that Marshal Qi is a military commander. I'm afraid his recommendation letter won't be effective, and he needs a famous civil servant."

Min Anshi sat up straight and smiled, "Maybe I can write a few letters of recommendation for you."

"Will this... be too much trouble?" Du Rulin's eyes widened.

"Of course not."

Although Min Anshi failed in the court struggle, he was still a famous person in the world, and his recommendation letter was very popular in a place like the Imperial College. This was also Du Rulin's plan.Du Rulin hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Mr. Min."

"There's no need to thank you, as long as you understand in your heart." Min Anshi said lightly.

Du Rulin froze slightly. Min Anshi had taught Du Rulin for so long anyway, and he had already seen his intentions. Since the friendship was not easy to use and was discovered, then it was a fair deal. He provided convenience to Du Rulin. It is also possible to repay him.

Du Qingchen cupped his hands and said, "I understand." What he owed to Min Anshi, he would naturally find a way to repay it, no more and no less, and he would not ask outsiders for help. He would repay it with his own ability.

The three of them took Min Anshi's recommendation letter and left the Min Mansion. Qiu You frowned, grabbed Du Rulin's arm and said, "Why do you owe him so much favor? It won't be easy to pay back at that time."

"It's okay, if we win, we will take the Imperial College entrance exam first. If we pass the exam, we will use his recommendation letter. It is also a way out. The three of us must be neat and tidy, and no one can let us down. For this, what if we owe him a favor? Could it be that the three of us will not be able to repay his favor in the future?"

Qiu You nodded, and didn't say anything more. At worst, he would find a way to repay today's kindness in the future.

Liu Tai was still a little ignorant, waved his hand and said, "It's such a big deal, if you pass the exam yourself, it's over! Who would use his letter!"

Qiu You and Du Rulin looked at Liu Tai together, they were speechless about his confidence, they almost didn't cry before, who thought they might fail the exam this time?

After returning to Du's house, Du Rulin only received the news from Du Qingchen. Du Rulin still remembered being tense and couldn't reveal that he and Xia Zijin had a relationship for a long time. Liu Tai had already slapped Du Rulin on the shoulder in a brazen way, "Okay You boy, you are fast enough! If you don't pay attention, you will be engaged!"

Du Qingchen didn't think there was any problem with these words, he just smiled and said: "Ru Lin is going to be one step ahead of you, this time when I go back, maybe my family will make arrangements for you."

Qiu You just smiled, "How can you establish a career before you have achieved success? When you pass the exam, there will be a girl from a good family to match you."

Qiu You wouldn't let his family members talk about marriage for him. His family members are not like Du Qingchen, they are all villagers. First, he can't tell him any good marriage. There are still some, he intends to marry a girl of good background, who can read and write, and a brother like Xia Zijin is also within the scope of Qiu You's mate selection, but unfortunately, Qiu You is the kind who only likes girls The man he loves, and the fact that his good brother fell in love with him first, makes him even less thoughtful, and even less jealous.

Liu Tai was stunned for a moment, different from the maturity of Du Rulin and Qiu You, he was still a little shy, lowered his head, and said, "How can...my father can't remember this! In his eyes, I still Little one!"

When this matter is brought up, it makes people cry when they see it sadly. Master Liu has always been insensitive to this kind of matter. Otherwise, he is a famous and wealthy scholar, and he is almost like a country gentleman in the town. Why? As for a person who has been single with his baby for so many years, isn't it because he doesn't care about men and women at all, and is very slow!

Liu Tai didn't dare to count on him at all. Moreover, he also imagined being like Du Rulin, meeting a beautiful woman by chance, falling in love at first sight, and jointly resisting the evil forces of both elders and parents, and finally getting together, as described in the playbook, a gifted man Beauty, fly together...

Liu Tai longed for it.

Du Qingchen said with a smile: "Liu Tai is indeed young. At your age, you are really not in a hurry. You may not be sure. When you are admitted to the Imperial College, someone will take a fancy to you."

"Would you like to see me on the street and throw me a handkerchief as a token of love?" Liu Tai asked expectantly.

Du Qingchen was stunned for a moment, he was talking about the masters of the Guozijian, who might fall in love with Liu Tai who was young but passed the examination, and then choose him as his son-in-law.

Du Qingchen shook his head amusedly, but did not explain, young Mu Ai!

Soon, Master Xia sent a letter saying that they had agreed. Du Qingchen immediately invited a matchmaker to go to the wedding ceremony, and went through the engagement ceremony as quickly as possible. At this time, Su Nuan's marriage was very close. , they have to go to the capital as soon as possible.

Du Rulin just got engaged, so maybe he will be separated from his fiancé, and he doesn't know when he will meet again, but both he and Xia Zijin are tough-minded people. The next day after the engagement, the two secretly met while hiding from the elders at home. They told each other their hearts, made an oath, exchanged tokens, and then they parted.

The Du family's group needed several carriages to go to the capital. Du Qingchen hired guards to ensure the safety of the journey before they set off.

Mother Su sat on the carriage, feeling a little worried, "I don't know if I can make it."

Du Qingchen just smiled, even if he couldn't keep up with him, he could only do this, he couldn't just stop holding Du Rulin's engagement banquet for Su Nuan's sake!He was still more towards Du Rulin in his heart.

But it must not be said that way, Du Qingchen said: "Mother, don't worry, I've done the math. Let's hurry up, get up early and go to bed late, we can still arrive a few days earlier, and we still have time to prepare things for Brother Nuan."

Mother Su nodded her head as if she was relieved after hearing this.
